T206: What is this thing?

[marktheshark83]

anyone else notice it was removed? good thing it was, think was at around $500 last i saw it

I'm probably not the only one, but I reported it to eBay this morning. Obviously intentional deception by the seller.

I think it should've been allowed to sell.

Anyone dumb enough to think they're getting a real Wagner for $500 deserves to lose their $500.

Anyone making purchases inside the hobby for $500 that is so uneducated, that they'd be willing to buy that reprint, I think deserves to lose their money.

It's not as if the seller was lying, he was misleading maybe a little, but he wasn't calling it authentic.

While there is a "sucker born every minute," I will attempt to step in if I think deception is in play. I still had the page cached in my browser:

T206 PIEDMONT - HONUS WAGNER

PSA "? AUTHTCT"

This card is in poor shape. Missing pieces from the bottom left of the card and multiple creases along with a piece of the card torn off where Wagner's face would be. I believe the card to be authentic but I'll let you you be the judge!!

This card will not last long. Still in the original PSA holder they returned the card in. I will also include the original Packing Slip PSA sent back with the card back in mid-2009.

Please see pics. Any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Here was the response he sent when I asked about it...

I agree. Number one if I new it was 100% authentic...I would have started bidding at $50,000
Secondly...it states...questionable authenticity. So in the end they could not confirm or deny it's authenticity. So it is what it is. Again...if I knew 100% it was real...I wouldn't have listed it for 0.99. I do know that another PSA one identical to mine sold for over $9k on ebay about 18 months ago

It's fake, and I'm sure the new posting has been reported to eBay and will soon be taken down.

Okay so let's imagine this card was indeed Authentic (which it's not).

How much would such a beat up Wagner go for? A Wagner in that condition is such an eyesore that I think it's only value would be for the PSA registry. It would allow you to achieve 100% completion, a rare echelon. However, I would be hesitant to show the card to anyone.

$50k?

What about a step further. Let's say someone uncovered a Wagner sawed in half. How much would 50% of a Wagner go for?
